Background

God in Heaven knows this is an area that I will rather not touch.

But, just a few minutes ago, our Heavenly father gave me a little opening to talk about it.

I will seize that little opening.

      8 “Hagar, servant of Sarai,” he said, “where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I am running away from my mistress Sarai,” she replied.
      9 So the angel of the LORD told her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her authority.”
      10 Then the angel added, “I will greatly multiply your offspring so that they will be too numerous to count.”

Gideon
  1. Judges 6:11- 24 – The Call of Gideon ( Link )
    • 14 The LORD turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Am I not sending you?”
    • 15 “Please, my Lord,” Gideon replied, “how can I save Israel? Indeed, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father’s house.”
    • 16 “Surely I will be with you,” the LORD replied, “and you will strike down all the Midianites as one man.”
    • 17 Gideon answered, “If I have found favor in Your sight, give me a sign that it is You speaking with me.
    • 18 Please do not depart from this place until I return to You. Let me bring my offering and set it before You.”  And the LORD said, “I will stay until you return.”
    • 19 So Gideon went in and prepared a young goat and unleavened bread and an ephah of flour.  He placed the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot and brought them out to present to Him under the oak.
    • 20 And the angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread, lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” And Gideon did so.

New Testament ( NT )

Paul ( Apostle Paul )
  1. Hebrews 13:2 – Brotherly Love ( Link )
    • 1 Continue in brotherly love.
      2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

 

Why To They Come?

  1. Strengthen
  2. Truth Protector
  3. Test Our Hearts

Strengthen

We live in a fallen world.

Very fallen.

We need angels to sometimes show up so that they can guide and protect us.

Strengthen us.

Truth Protector

Aforementioned, we live in a fallen world.

There are multiple layers of untruths in it.

Ever so often we need Angels to assure us of God’s truth.

Our heavenly father is truth and he employs heavenly angels as one of the custodians of truth.

Test Our Hearts

Goes back to the fact that we live in a fallen world.

Many layers of nakedness in it.

God uses angels to aware us of the earth’s decayness and our participation and involvement in its decay.

 

To Whom Do Angels Come?

  1. Demographic

Demographic

Who do the Angels come to?

Based on what has been shared to me through first person revelation, far more women claim angelic experience than men.

I do not why more women experience this phenomenon outside of:-

  1. Lives of women is a lot more brittle
  2. Responsibilities
    • Responsibilities of child bearing
    • Responsibilities of child rearing
    • Responsibilities of caring for the aged
  3. Need
    • Need for clarity and unbridled truth
    • Need for comfort

 

Father God

Heavenly Father.

Blessed are you Father God.

Though you needed us not.

Your Love Led you to creation and beholden.

You take it upon yourself to offer sustenance.

You implore us to ask each day for our daily bread.

Yet not to be too wordy nor worldly.

Your love and attentiveness cloths, cradles, and cherishes us.

When you draw us and we hear you, we are filled with your joy.

You are joy.

Holy and Graceful.
